But each organization has a distinct personality. The American soldiers in France will always think of the Salvation Army as a dispenser of pies and doughnuts, a store machine, or make their night ae-u i 4nA tn thd trenches. Some- ia to be attained.

Germany held as a unit by her rigorous despotism threatens the liberties of the world. Against her no half way measures can prevail." This is plain talk and the truth and the support of such organizations should not be of a hesitating character, either In the shape of funds or work. Our motto is, "Serve at the Front or Serve at Home," and it is your duty to help the Nation and the work of these organizations which are 100 per cent, national in their scope.
